# The genome sequence of Artibeus lituratus (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae, Stenodermatinae; Olfers, 1818)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a male Artibeus lituratus, a species of bat, with a detailed assembly including sex chromosomes.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Artibeus lituratus, including scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules and sex chromosomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 2.15 gigabases.
- The assembly includes 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules and assembled X and Y sex chromosomes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Artibeus lituratus (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Phyllostomidae). The genome sequence is 2.15 in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X and Y sex chromosomes assembled.
